Thank you so much!  I was able to find those at Barnes and Noble online pretty inexpensively.  For some reason they are more expensive in the store.

I have also discovered the Acorn books from the library.  You can purchase them at the following link, but since it would add up so quickly I will stick to borrowing them from the library.

However, if you do a Google search there are tons.  You can find one that is a little more specific to where you live.

I do!  I follow Hip2Save and a couple of others.  It is amazing how good you feel when you get something for a great price!
65  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Easy Readers with Big Fonts on: June 08, 2011, 08:59:34 PM
My son is still pretty young, and I have been struggling to find easy readers with large enough font.  We have flash cards, but he likes books better.  I made him a photobook with pictures of him and large captions.  Also, I just ordered the Preschool Prep Sight Words books, since those seem decent.  The BOB books seem to have small type.  A lot of the easy reader sets I see on Amazon don't have sample pages, so I can't tell if they are large enough.  Has anyone used these?  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0545231493/ref=s9_simh_se_p14_d0_i4?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=auto-no-results-center-1&pf_rd_r=1Q0GZG05XESGH4WFD2SJ&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=1263465782&pf_rd_i=starfapp
66  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: Preschool Prep or YCCR? on: April 30, 2011, 09:17:48 PM
Thank you Teaching My Toddlers!  I think I will eventually do both YCCR and the Sight Words from PP, but was curious as to which to do first.  My son is only 6 months old, so I am trying to hold off on Leap Frog, and other plot based stories.  I am not that worried about doing the PP colors or shapes, as we have so many other things to teach him those that are much more interactive.  I don't want to do the PP numbers yet, either.  We are currently doing Doman style dot cards, and I would much prefer he focus on learning quantities now and the symbols for numbers later.  From what you were saying, I should do the PP Sight Words first, and then YCCR?

Elorm - They are two very different systems.  YBCR is a bit more hands off.  It also teaches using a more left brain format.  LR uses a combination of methods and teaches more words.  Since I have pretty limited funds, I chose to get LR Basic to use with the YBCR that we got as a gift.  My son likes YBCR better and I like LR better, so I am glad I use both.  I have made do with printing my own flash cards to show him rather than having the full deluxe kit.  In the long run, I have no idea which will work better, but as long as he can read, I don't care.
67  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: Preschool Prep or YCCR? on: April 29, 2011, 07:43:16 PM
Your Child Can Read.  It is by the same makers as Your Baby Can Read.
68  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Preschool Prep or YCCR? on: April 29, 2011, 02:34:11 AM
I was just wondering where you suggest I go next?  My son is almost done with YBCR and is OBSESSED with them.  When he got hurt a few weeks ago, all he wanted to do all night was watch YBCR again and again.  I definitely want something to fill the void when we are done.  Would Preschool Prep or YCCR be better? 
69  Products Marketplace / Product Discussions and Reviews / Your Baby Can Poor Customer Service on: April 26, 2011, 06:34:09 PM
My son received Your Baby Can Speak Spanish as a gift for Easter.  I have YBCR and Your Baby Can Discover, and am very happy with them, so I was excited about the new set.  Anyway, there is something wrong with both DVDs in the set.  Eventually, they will play fine, but I cannot see the menu screen to select which segments I want to play (I didn't want him watching the whole 70 minute video at once).  There are no scratches, so I called Your Baby Can's customer service.  Basically, they told me since the the product was purchased at Wal-Mart, it was their problem to fix.  When I asked what to do if I got another set that did the same thing, he said I would just have to take it up with Wal-Mart.  There was nothing he could do for me unless I wanted to place an order for another set from them directly.

This seems like a bad policy to me.  I don't know if Wal-Mart will let me exchange them since I do not have a receipt or the box anymore.  If they do, I am considering just returning it.

I would love to help if someone would show me how.  smile
71  Products Marketplace / Product Discussions and Reviews / Re: New Product from YBCR on: April 21, 2011, 02:18:19 AM
The DVDs show music and pitch in addition to the CD.

I noticed the books did that with the shapes also.  I think it is because they are just defining them as polygons, not as equilateral ones.  One clip from the DVD I saw did distinguish equilateral, isosceles, and scalene triangles.  They also showed talked about some other equilateral shapes.  I kind of like it.  I think I might go back and make the distinctions in the power point slides I was working on for him, so he knows that a heptagon has 7 sides no matter their orientation.
72  Products Marketplace / Product Discussions and Reviews / Re: New Product from YBCR on: April 20, 2011, 08:19:15 PM
I got mine from the store today and watched a little bit of a couple of the DVDs, just to check it out.  I really like it.  My 5 year old step daughter watched with me and really enjoyed them.  My son was napping, but I think they will hold his attention.  They cover a variety of topics.  I am particularly happy with the music exposure!  I have been looking for more ways to teach him pitch. 

I looked at some of the books with my step daughter, and she seemed interested.  However, I think they will be a bit over my son's head (5 months).  They may be good reinforcement in a few months.  I guess I can't complain, the age range on the set says 1-7 years.

73  Products Marketplace / Product Discussions and Reviews / Re: New Product from YBCR on: April 19, 2011, 08:19:02 PM
Krista, I was able to get free shipping on my from Babies R Us by having it shipped to the store.  It is a bit of a pain to go get it, but cheaper than the $10 in shipping, especially since I need to go anyway.
74  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BRAIN STIMULATING GAMES I CAN PLAY WITH A 7 MONTH OLD? on: April 19, 2011, 05:48:30 PM
I have the book Baby Minds by Acredolo and Goodwyn.  They have game suggestions for little ones.  For example, setting up patterns.  They say to hide a toy or puppet behind your back and pull it out on one side in a pattern, (R, L, R, L).  It gets the baby to start looking for patterns in things.  They have other suggestions, but I am not remembering them all now.  Maybe your library would have it.  However, I will warn you, they are anti Doman/flashcards.  I kind of follow the philosophy of using multiple educational techniques.
75  Products Marketplace / Second-Hand Sell + Swap / WTB YBCR 5 and Signing Time on: April 19, 2011, 02:52:49 PM
I am looking for YBCR volume 5 and Baby Signing Time.  We have the first Signing Time, but would like any subsequent DVDs.  If you have some you no longer use, please message me.

Thanks!
